Exciting Additions: Two New Games, Including a Potential Standout

Listen up, Xbox Game Pass subscribers! After the day one launch of Hellblade 2, two new games were added to the Microsoft service. One is hot and the other looks like Theme Hospital.

Hellblade 2 is THE new Xbox Game Pass release for May 2024 since it is a completely new release. But there are still plenty of people this month with EA Sports NHL 24, Chants of Sennaar and Immortals of Aveum. That's it for the games that joined the subscription between May 15 and 21. As of this morning, two other completely new titles are available. And one of them risks attracting subscribers because of its minimalist but very polished artistic direction.

Xbox Game Pass games for May 23, 2024

New Xbox Game Pass games generally arrive at a steady pace, and without any real gap between each addition. This allows you to capture the attention of subscribers and convince them not to cancel right away. In recent entries, Chants of Sennaar clearly deserves your interest. He was one of the big independent favorites of 2023, according to the press and the players themselves. The masterful artistic direction, the concept which notably consists of deciphering ancient languages, and the puzzles are among the positive points noted in our test of the time. It's available now in Xbox Game Pass.

Galacticare

Do you like Theme Hospital? Men in Black? Is the choice too hard? If so, developers Brightrock Games have the solution and it's called Galacticare. Your mission: manage an intergalactic medical center, creating multiple facilities, to treat aliens and prosper with the money collected for the care given. The tone is therefore crazier and less serious than Theme Hospital, but the idea remains the same basically. You can treat your horribly ill patients in Campaign or Sandbox mode. And to carry out these surgical operations, you will be authorized to recruit people who are very different from traditional doctors. A DJ, a farmer or a monk who runs on mushrooms can be hired. Galacticare on Xbox Game Pass console (Xbox Series X|S), xCloud and PC.

Hauntii

After Galacticare, Xbox Game Pass offers you Hauntii. A game also released on May 23 and which has not yet received too much feedback. But apparently, the title from Moonloop Games LLC has the makings of a nugget. What stands out is its minimalist artistic direction in line art with a two-tone palette of colors. For the majority of tables. In Hauntii, you are a brave but naive little ghost who needs answers. “Mysterious luminous creatures called Eternians guide lost souls to a central tower, from where they appear to ascend to a higher reality. These beings look like angels, but no one knows what they really are, or where they come from. (via Steam). To obtain these answers, you will have to use your ghostly powers on the environments, but also on the NPCs you encounter. The game is on the Xbox Game Pass console and xCloud.
